| GLDS Welcomes Allegiance Communications |
|
GLDS is pleased to welcome one of our newest family members, Allegiance Communications, who has joined GLDS in a multi-year agreement for triple-play billing and provisioning solutions.
 Allegiance will use WinCable to manage digital video delivery and billing for more than 60,000 subscribers across five states, and will further benefit from GLDS' ability to automate much of their service delivery infrastructure.
"WinCable offered us the tools we needed to cost-effectively manage customer service, provisioning, and billing - every aspect of the complete service delivery cycle," stated Bill Haggarty, CEO of Allegiance Communications. "We gave GLDS a very tight timeline for a conversion and they rose to the occasion. We've been using WinCable for a few months now and are glad we made the change."
GLDS has successfully completed the data conversion from RR Enterprises and the launch of billing and provisioning for HITS Classic, HITS QT, HITS QT+, High-speed data, VoIP, real-time credit card/ACH processing, and CableAnytime for web self-provisioning. Allegiance will also use the GLDS Automated Response Unit (ARU) for balance inquiry, payment, outbound dialing, marketing, and work order finalization by phone. |
| GLDS Sees Second Year in Top 100 |
For the second year straight, GLDS has been named one of the industry's top 100 companies by Broadband Properties Magazine - the only billing and subscriber management company to receive that designation. 
Why did Broadband Properties pick GLDS? They were looking for companies they felt helped others deploy networks by supplying key software, and offering innovative solutions for the industry.
We're proud to have been recognized and are committed to providing operators with great products, great service and great value. |

| Cut Your Printing Costs |
Did you know that WinCable users have the option of sending monthly statements via email rather than paying printing/postage and sending a bill the old fashion way? Best of all, this option is included in your WinCable software at no additional charge. Operators can send email bills to any number of selected subscribers, and attach a .pdf or .html color copy of their statement.
Complete set-up documentation is available and already installed on your workstation! Just go to the Help Menu, Contents, then Index, type in the word "e-mail" and then click the Display button. You'll see complete instructions on setup, messages, and attaching color statements.
As a bonus, setting up your email billing configuration allows you to send reports, subscriber transaction summaries, and even work orders via email directly from your WinCable database. Emailing work orders extends your system reach, improves technician productivity, and eliminates the need for additional remote users. Sending email reports to customers saves money, cuts response time, and improves customer satisfaction. Call or email support with specific questions.

NOW HIRING
|
GLDS is looking for a
few enthusiastic people to add to our team. We currently have openings in our Carlsbad, CA office
for an Addressable Engineer.
Candidates should have LOTS of experience with addressability, and be skilled in the use of GLDS billing and addressable products.
The catch? GLDS has a policy of NEVER hiring
current employees from our customers. It's an ethical thing with us. However,
if you know of qualified people who have recently left the employ of a GLDS
customer please let us know! We're always looking for the best people to serve
our software users worldwide.
